padecoef

Computes the Pade approximation of time delays.

Syntax

  • [numerator, denominator] = padecoef(T, N)

  • [numerator, denominator] = padecoef(T)

Input argument

  • T - Time delay: a scalar real positive.

  • N - Order of approximation: a scalar real positive (default N = 1).

Output argument

  • numerator - polynomials of order N: rows vector.

  • denominator - polynomials of order N: rows vector.

Description

padecoef(T, N) computes the Nth-order Padé Approximation for the continuous-time delay system represented by the exponential term exp(-T*s) and returns it in the form of a transfer function.
